Welcome to the Vets in Diversity Podcast series from the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies. Our student-led Animal Aspirations Edinburgh group has teamed up with the Easter Bush Equality, Diversity and Inclusion group to produce this podcast series of Vets in Diversity. Throughout this series, we talk to students, university staff and leaders within the veterinary profession about race equality, diversity and inclusion within education and the profession. This series features 10 episodes, which look to unfold some of the challenges and intersectionality faced by BAME people entering a profession where 97% of vets registered in the UK consider themselves from white ethnic backgrounds. Episodes range from the challenges that BAME people face in accessing higher education at high tariff universities to BAME mental health and support; from decolonising the curriculum to dealing with COVID, racism and BLM. Equality, diversity and inclusion is a core part of the strategic framework at the University

Vets in Diversity Podcast Episode 2: Colonial History

Looking to the Colonial past and its impact on Higher Education today – In this episode we are exploring historical evidence to help explain why the system is structured the way it is and why racial inequalities exist within higher education and across sectors within society. We also explain what is meant by the term ‘decolonising the curriculum’ and discuss how it is being done within HE and more specifically at the Dick Vet and look at its impact on the educational experience for all staff and students.
